Randal Grichuk went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and four runs scored as the Cardinals doubled up the Rockies 10-5 on Tuesday.

Grichuk knocked a pair of doubles on top of his RBI single in the fifth inning. It was the first time in his career Grichuk has scored four runs in a game. A deep slump during the first half has marred his numbers, but the 25-year-old has been a different hitter since being recalled in mid-August. Even with his struggles, Grichuk has 23 homers, 62 RBI and 62 runs scored, a testament to what kind of hitter he's capable of being when he's locked in. Sep 21 - 12:53 AM

Randal Grichuk launched a two-run homer and scored a pair of runs in Monday's win over the Rockies.

Grichuk hit a towering shot off of Tyler Anderson in the third inning that cleared the left-field wall for his 23rd home run of the season. That's a pretty big number for a guy who's tallied only 429 plate appearances, although the outfielder has produced only a lowly .289 on-base percentage. Sep 19 - 11:43 PM

Randal Grichuk went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and a double in Thursday's loss to the Giants.

Grichuk picked up an RBI base knock against Johnny Cueto in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old outfielder has worked to a .242/.292/.494 triple-slash with 22 homers and 58 RBI over 385 at-bats. He has notched doubles in three of his last six games. Sep 16 - 12:59 AM

Randal Grichuk connected for a solo blast in a loss to the Reds on Friday.

Make that eight homers in 19 games since returning from the minors on August 11. Grichuk also has 24 strikeouts and just one walk in 72 plate appearances during that time, so the batting average upside is limited here, but he can help fantasy owners who need some power. Sep 2 - 11:02 PM

Lynn didn't pitch at the big league level in 2016 as he recovered from Tommy John surgery, making just two minor league rehab starts. He's expected to be fully healthy and ready to go for the start of spring training. Prior to his injury, he compiled an excellent 3.37 ERA and 766/291 K/BB ratio over 791 1/3 innings with the Cardinals.

A right knee injury kept Lyons out of action for the final two months of the 2016 season, and on November 5 general manager John Mozeliak relayed that the injury was "not responding as quickly as we hoped." Lyons' current recovery timetable from the surgery is set at 5-6 months. Along those lines, a return in late spring would be the most optimistic outlook here. Prior to the season-ending injury, Lyons had pitched to a 3.38 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 46/14 K/BB ratio over 48 frames.

Zach Duke underwent Tommy John surgery and also had his flexor muscle repaired last week.

This comes out of nowhere, as we hadn't heard of any elbow trouble that Duke was having until now. However, he is coming off a career-high 81 appearances in 2016, and it appears that his arm just couldn't hold up. He'll miss the entire 2017 season before hitting free agency the following winter.
